| Location | NMG-CN |
| Geographical representativeness description | The data regarding the parameters of wind power has been collected from Wang (2012). A wind farm equipped with 33 domestic 1.5 megawatts (MW) wind turbines is regarded as a case study to analyze the environmental impact and its substitution effects. The wind farm is located in the northeast of Inner Mongolia, the province in which most of China’s wind power is installed (Xia and Song, 2017). |

| Use advice for data set | This life cycle assessment data should be used taking into account the technological specifics and environmental implications of manufacturing blade hubs for 1.5 MW wind turbines. When applying this data, users should consider the energy consumption and emissions associated with the production process, as detailed by Xue et al. (2015). It is also important to model the use phase behavior of the wind turbines to understand the overall environmental impact, including their substitution effects on traditional energy sources. This data is applicable primarily to regions with similar wind power infrastructure to the case study of Northeast Inner Mongolia. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The manufacturing process described pertains to the production of blade hubs for 1.5 MW wind turbines. These hubs are integral components of wind turbines, designed to connect the blades to the rotor. Hubs of this nature are specifically used in the construction of wind turbines for generating renewable energy. Wind farms, such as the one referenced with 33 domestic turbines in Inner Mongolia, rely on these hubs for their wind power installations, contributing to the production of sustainable energy. |
